The new recommendations are in the Protein Power Lifeplan, which came out
this time last year. The previous book, Protein Power, came out I think
about 1994, so there was quite a gap. I admire the Eades for being prepared
to admit they got it wrong first time round. I don't have my copy to hand,
but I think they have also modified their position on artificial sweeteners
(i.e. they are all bad, but then we paleo people knew that already!) Unlike
many 'new' editions of old diet books, the Protein Power Lifeplan does have
quite a lot of new stuff in it and I have found it very useful.
